1940S Lincoln cent-Rim to Rim Die Crack or Retained Cud?

Hi, I am unsure how to clasify this penny. The crack starts at the edge of the rim by the E on the reverse, runs down thru the left wheat stalk, coming out about halfway thru the stalk and touching the rim. I know the photos are not the greatest, but where it first touches the stalk at the top, it lines up perfectly; no shifting in design pattern. Where the crack comes out of the stalk midway, there is a slight shifting of the design on the edge of the stalk. There are multiple raised areas on the stalk itself. And there is the slight secondary crack touching the rim that you see closer to the initial start of the crack at the top. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks, Sony

    Thanks Oakstar for responding. I did look at that site and then I saw some of the coins shown on "Bisecting Rim to Rim Die Cracks," and this one looked a bit like mine, at least I thought. ...RRDC-1c-1998-01R (Images are courtesy of Marvin L. Young). Just trying to learn and I appreciate your input. Sony
